Abstract
The objective is to provide a data acquisition apparatus enabling simultaneous data acquisition using multiple measurement intervals in a data acquisition apparatus comprised of multiple input modules. It is characterized, as a data acquisition apparatus comprising multiple input modules having different measurement intervals, in that a control means is provided for simultaneously driving each input module at a specified measurement interval. This makes it possible to simultaneously acquire data using multiple measurement intervals which are optimal for each input module in a data acquisition apparatus comprised of multiple input modules.
Claims6
A data acquisition apparatus, comprising multiple input modules having different measurement intervals, wherein said data acquisition apparatus is characterized in that a control means is provided for simultaneously driving each input modules at a desired measurement interval;
- a measurement start command transmission control means, which selectively sends measurement start commands to the individual input modules, is provided as a control means;
- and the measurement start command transmission control means is a memory, which stores in tabular format the input modules to which measurement start commands are to be sent in the measurement start command transmission timing.
